Glad I got the data for that HBCU thread two years ago. I might just download some of the DB.

The Trump administration is finalizing plans to dismantle the Education Department through an executive order that would build on the president’s campaign promise to hammer the longtime conservative target.

The order — which President Donald Trump is expected to sign sometime this month, according to a White House official — was expected to lay out a two-part strategy for shuttering the agency, according to two people familiar with the plans and granted anonymity to discuss them.

It would direct the department to craft a plan to wind down its functions using its existing administrative authority. But the order was also expected to call for the agency to inventory a complex set of laws needed to delegate the department’s powers to other agencies and then close the department, an acknowledgment that some of conservatives’ biggest desires for change hinge on congressional approval. Such an order would launch a complex initiative. Some conservatives concede they currently lack enough support for legislation to close the department and farm its core functions out to other federal agencies.



While Trump has been vocal about closing the Education Department, the agency appears to have also drawn the attention of Elon Musk’s government efficiency operation, which picked apart the US Agency for International Development over the weekend.

According to a third person granted anonymity to discuss sensitive information, representatives from the so-called Department of Government Efficiency were working at Education Department headquarters Monday and seeking access to agency records.

Wildest part is the people making decisions like this are people who haven’t even been in a classroom since they were students .

Well Trump was definitely a special eds student.

I think only Congress can get rid of the Department of Education, but regardless he is about to ruin the education system in many parts of rural America because rural America counts on the Department of Education for funding. He is literally about to shyt on his own base voters.
